Seven Seas Licenses Secret Relationships, Sagrada Reset, and More

Tapas may be closing down, but fans will be able to read their favorites in print.

Seven Seas unveiled, during this week’s Wonderful Wednesday licensing announcements, that they had licensed five new titles. One is a digital-only light novel license, three manga, and one manhwa. In particular, Secret Relationships, a BL manhwa that inspired a 2025 live-action drama, will be released as a print volume. With the publisher’s only light novel license being a digital-exclusive title, it is unclear whether Seven Seas is planning to release all its new light novel titles as digital only from now on or if it’s only for select titles.

Venus Mission: I Was an Assassin-for-Hire Who Died, Now I’m Hunting Heroes in Another World

MIYABI and Eito Nishikawa
Narration: Nicholas Corda

Takashi Suzuki, a middle-aged mercenary and former hit man, just lost his battle with cancer. But death isn’t the end for a killer of his caliber. A mysterious goddess has other plans: reincarnate him in a fantasy world—and give him a divine kill order: eliminate thirty-two heroes.

These so-called heroes? Japanese high schoolers summoned en masse, granted cheat-level powers, and now plunging the world into chaos.

Reborn as Rei and partnered with the beautiful and deadly elf warrior Lydina, Suzuki must bring every skill he has to the battlefield—from modern combat tactics and classical martial arts to his newly awakened magic. But this mission is more than a bloodbath. The goddess’s true motives remain shrouded, and a larger conspiracy is unfolding behind the scenes. Can Rei survive long enough to cross every name off his list—including a Sword Saint, an Arch Sage, and a deadly Necromancer?

The first volume releases on December 17.
